Parks & Nature

Walking distance from my house (10-15 mins). The lake is 3 miles around. Nice to walk, bike, or scooter around. On the west side of the lake you get views of downtown, and on the east side views of the mountains.

World-renowned amphitheater with nice views and trails to hike around. I recommend driving to the top and parking near the roundabout or in the upper north lot. This will reduce the uphill climb to reach the top of the amphitheater.
